[time-nuts] Lady Heather on a Laptop

[gary]

I use a dual core atom as a server. Be sure to read the user reviews on 
Newegg regarding memory. If you try to stuff your Atom to the full 
4gbytes, only certain sodimms work. You can use the smallest SSDs around 
for this purpose. I built mine with an 80gBbyte intel.

I use win 7 pro 64 bit for software compatibility with certain programs, 
but I would first see if Lady Heather runs under Wine if all you want to 
do is run one program.

Atom PCs are about the easiest to build since you can skip the CPU and 
heat sink mounting.

I'd look for those intel mobos that have the wide input voltage range.

Note an old notebook running 24 and 7 will eventually cost you about 
what the atom system costs. Also, the nice thing about the atom is the 
CPU clock isn't fiddled (unless that has changed). I hate all the power 
saving features in notebook PCs.
